I know I will be put on monitors and have a quick ultrasound to check fluid levels...love seeing her chubby face!
Can't wait to hear your update!
My boss was so sweet about it. Didn't give me a hard time or ask any questions, he just said "I understand, go home and be with her". I was just a nervous wreck because I imagined her stumbling around, falling on the cold tile, and getting stuck there until someone came home to get her... which was not the case at all - Thank goodness!! She was exactly where I had left her yesterday morning and so happy to see me when I walked in. I picked her up and put her on the couch with me and we snuggled and watched HGTV together... I'm getting in as many snuggles as I can b/c I know I may not have many more chances. We started the steroids this morning though so I'm praying it will work! (for those that don't know - our dog has lost most of the function in her legs and can barely walk anymore. Vet says it's likely a central nervous system disease brought on by cancer or a tumor. We don't know for sure and probably won't know as the diagnostic testing necessary for a diagnosis costs between $2,500 and $5,000! And she's 9... We're trying steroids as a shot in the dark treatment in hopes the problem is just spinal inflammation).
Ela looks and sounds great, I grew 3cm in fundal height but measure perfect for 36 weeks! They did the gbs swab, not bad at all, but said they don't do cervical checks till 39 weeks unless they suspect something is wrong or think I'm in labor...that kinda sucks, I am too impatient I wanna know lol Oh well, she will be here before we know it 
I had a ton of mid size contractions while being monitored then one massive one that threw the reading off the chart and holy cow it brought back labor pain memories!!!
I guess this is what happens when you start indulging in fall treats like a pumpkin scone ( halfsies with my BFF), pumpkin spice kisses, candy corn, apple crisp. Ugh. It's all so yummy! I want to make pumpkin bread too! And I probably will. The MW measured me and said I'm measuring right on for fundal height but didn't announce the number. A friend is dying to know the size of the baby so I asked if she could tell and she guessed 5.5-6 lbs. that is really disturbing after all the weight I have gained, but I would rather she not be 9lbs! I told her about my failed cervix check. That I couldn't even reach it. So she agrees with me. That I'm not even close to going into labor. It will probably be 41 weeks + for me. She asked me to get an exercise ball to sit and bounce on. She also suggested evening primrose oil capsules, and sage essential oil to put into almond oil to rub on my tummy. She also suggested anise but whole foods didn't have it. I will probably order some online. The oils were to help trigger contractions. I guess that's about it. Back next week.
